Mississippi State might not have expected to come into their week two game with Arkansas at 1-0, but that’s just the situation after the Bulldogs’ 44-34 upset of defending national champion LSU last week.
The Razorbacks were able to cover by 1/2 a point in their 37-10 season opening home loss to Georgia. Arkansas lost this meeting by 30 at home last season, and were bowled over 52-6 their last trip to Starkville.
Arkansas Razorbacks
The main goal of Arkansas’ new 3-2-6 defense will be stopping Mississippi State’s Air Raid offense. The Razorbacks gave Georgia fits in the opener, holding the Bulldogs to just 3 points at the half.
Georgia also could’ve been a little stale in the season opener, because the ‘Dogs scored the last 32 points of the game in week one. UGA had 121 yards rushing – but on 42 carries.

Can Arkansas afford to get in a shootout on Saturday night? The Razorbacks managed just 77 yards rushing in their opener and QB Feleipe Franks had 200 yards but with 2 INTs.
Mississippi State hasn’t been a great matchup for Arkansas lately and that was prior to Mike Leach bringing his potent offense to Starkville. The Razorbacks have lost the last two H2H meetings by a combined 76 points.
Mississippi State Bulldogs
Bulldogs QB K.J. Costello was the headline of college football last week after leading MSU to a 10-point win over LSU as two touchdown underdogs.
Costello looks like he’ll be magnificent running Leach’s offense after putting up a 623 yard, 5 TD performance through the air. That total set the SEC single game record for pass yards in a game.
Mississippi State ran the ball just 16 times for 9 yards last week. Is that too one-dimensional of an approach vs. an improved Arkansas defense?
The Bulldogs did win this meeting by 30 points last year, going away as -7 point road favorites. Mississippi State racked up 460 yards rushing in that tilt but MSU employs a whole new offensive strategy in 2020.

Free NCAA Betting Pick: Mississippi State -17
The Bulldogs ran all over Arkansas last year, but it will be a different story with the Air Raid offense this year. The Razorbacks defense looked solid in the opener, but Georgia figured them out in the 2nd half.
